The cabin sits where Lakeview Creek enters Donner Lake. Listen to the babbling creek and unwind on our deck as you look out over the lake. Take a walk, or bike ride on our cruiser bikes, to the beach. The deck area is the prime entertainment spot. It's a sunny little spot. Perfect for afternoon BBQ's and entertaining. Inside the pine log walls take you back in time, but there are modern finishes. The kitchen has all new stainless appliances. The living room has a 'smart' TV with internet capability. In fact, the entire cabin has wifi, and two of the three bedrooms have TV's as well. For longer stays you will appreciate the laundry room. And there is plenty of parking 'off street'. It's a level driveway that is plowed all winter, and there's a covered walkway, so no snow shoveling to access the cabin! Soooo close to Sugar Bowl :)

PLEASE NOTE: We manage requests, so weeklong reservations take precedent over short stay requests from June 7th to Sept 15th, and from December 20th-January 3rd. Three-day reservations take precedent on holiday weekends.

    Very convenient location for Sugar Bowl. Sleeps seven but common area would be small for winter since the outside deck would not be usable.

    We had a great stay. Our host-Jim-was extremely responsive. This smaller cabin is very quaint and located in a great location. It’s very easy to get into Truckee for grocery shopping, Sugarbowl is super close and it was very easy to get around. There aren’t really any hiking trails you can walk to, but there are quite a few in short driving distance. The cabin was very clean and the pellet stove plus central heat kept it nice and warm. Plenty of lots to cook with, although if you need to measure liquids you’ll need to bring or buy your own liquid measuring cup (we just used dry measures) and if you want to microwave on a plate or in a bowl, bring your own microwaveable dinnerware. This was a non-issue for us, but just felt I should mention it. The beds were SO comfy and cozy! Two bedrooms downstairs and master upstairs. Hang out upstairs for the comfy cabin feel. Provided towels were great and there was basic body wash and shampoo. To summarize, this was a great sta and we definitely recommend for families.

    Very clean, small cabin. Nice host.We opted to bring our own towels to avoid the stress of washing sheets and towels before leaving. (And avoid the 70 charge if we didn't).Roku TV had a hard time working in the living room but host was very responsive and helpful. Although we got it working the first night, we had to repeat the restart process a couple of times on different days. It did not do streaming, but a downstairs TV would.Wish there were some nightlights, especially for the downstairs bathroom which is down a hall from the bedrooms.

    Cabin was charming, very clean with comfy beds. My rating went from excellent to good only because the dryer took forever to complete as we were required to wash and dry linens and towels. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

    Cozy cabin near the lake. Loved the views, the deck, the quaint windows, beds were comfy. Very small kitchen with no dishwasher, it was amusing for a short stay but would get tiresome for longer stays.

    I am in Truckee every week but wanted to stay for the weekend with my daughter. Communication with the property owner is fantastic. Home is warm and cozy. Gave us the perfect down time and downtown Truckee was about 15 minutes away. Great drive to Mountain Brew coffee at the other end of the lake in the early morning gives all the feels driving by the lake without people. If you want the easy, hide away low key rest weekend this is the place.

    Our second stay here. We love walking the neighborhood and the lakeside park with Maestro. We have guests stop for dinner on the way in and out of Tahoe, and had great times with a full house. The feeling on the being on the lake beats any random cabin in Tahoe. Feels Very Private! Always happy to get to cabin sooner than fighting more traffic and the same on the way out!HIghly recommended!! 5 stars and Jim Roberts is super nice!

    Great property and location. We dropped something into one of the floor vents and had to remove the vent cover. It was very dirty in the vent, perhaps time for a clean. Otherwise allgood.

    The cabin was adorable and very comfortable. The pellet stove keeps it nice and warm. Everything was well laid out and explained so the cabin was super user friendly as well. And it's only a 10 min drive to Sugar Bowl! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for that perfect old school ski cabin.
